- HORNBACH Holding AG & Co. KGaA serves as the overarching entity for a diverse range of operations centered around home improvement, gardening, and construction. The company manages extensive do-it-yourself (DIY) megastores, complete with integrated garden centers, spread across Germany and several other European nations. These large-format retail outlets, along with robust online platforms, present customers with a comprehensive selection of products, typically featuring approximately 50,000 items in physical stores and up to 300,000 available digitally. This vast inventory spans key categories such as hardware and electrical supplies, paints, wallpapers, flooring solutions, structural materials like timber and prefabricated components, sanitary fittings and tiles, as well as a wide array of garden essentials and plants. Beyond its core retail business, HORNBACH extends its offerings to include substantial building materials and tools for trade professionals, complemented by expert advisory services for various project types, from foundational shell construction and roofing to interior finishes, facades, and civil engineering projects, including landscape design. A significant part of the group's activities also involves the development and leasing of prime retail real estate properties. As of the close of the 2024/25 financial year, ending February 28, 2025, the HORNBACH Group operated a total of 172 DIY megastores and garden centers, including specialist flooring stores, across nine European countries. Additionally, its regional builders' merchant segment comprised 39 outlets situated primarily in southwestern Germany and extending into bordering regions of France. The company, initially founded in 1877, maintains its headquarters in Bornheim, Germany.
